Management Quotes

On the people and decisions that steer a company's fortunes.

These quotes treat management as the real variable behind a business — one naming it as decisive for how a company fares, another describing the grind of commuting for a management job, a third noting how a company's model reaches beyond simple retail. See Business quotes.
